This thesis explores the contextualization of the gospel within the Newari
community, a prominent ethnic group in Nepal with rich and deep beliefs rooted in
socio-cultural aspects, religion, and religious traditions. The study and examination of the
sociocultural characteristics and history of the Newari people include their social and
indigenous leadership structures, socio-cultural practices, traditional healing methods that
explore their beliefs and practices, and the worldview of the Newari community passed
forward from generation to generation.
The history of Christianity and the challenges it faced to grow and integrate into
the Newari community is rooted in their misconception that Christianity is a foreign
religion and Jesus Christ is a foreign God Who will destroy the nation and nationality.
Drawing from biblical and theological foundations, historical views, biblical passages,
the missionary journeys of Paul, as well as principles and models of contextualization,
this thesis develops a comprehensive model in a relevant context to the Newari
community.
The developed and suitable missiological model of contextualizing the gospel in a
meaningful way emphasizes the understanding of the socio-cultural aspects, respectful
engagement, developing indigenous leadership, and holistic ministry approaches for the
Newari ethnic group. This thesis concludes with recommendations for effective gospel
presentation through long-term engagement strategies and perspectives to achieve the
ultimate goal of salvation while reflecting on the significance of developing a
missiological model within the Newari context and community.
